We reported yesterday on the bizarre theft of an extremely grody bar gimmick: a mummified human toe belonging to Dawson City‘s Downtown Hotel.
The grisly appendage was the star feature of the bar’s signature drink, the Sourtoe Cocktail, until it was nicked by a passer-through.
Good news from the Great White North, though: in a most Canadian reaction, the toe-thief has returned said toe in the mail, along with an apology note.

According to the Mounties, the bloke who pilfered the toe called them to say that he’d popped it in the post, and to apologise over the phone. He then called the bar, and apologised to them as well.
So with the note, the call to the Mounties, and the call to the Downtown Bar, that’s three apologies from the one shame-faced guy. In light of this, I feel confident that this is the right time to deploy the following Canadian stereotypes comic, courtesy Kate Beaton:
Canada. You mild-mannered bastards. Never change.
